Horizon Note (The Brittingham Prize in Poetry, Ronald Wallace, General Editor)

ISBN: 0299175308

Author: Behn, Robin

Condition: New

A son is born too early, as if coming up over the horizon before his own dawn. An elderly father lingers at lifes other horizon. In language dense and clear, playful and somber, and with a formal exactitude and emotional amplitude suggestive of her own musical training, Behn traverses these horizons extracting, like the horizon note that drones through traditional Indian music, a red needle from the sky.
